​2020 Workshop UpdateSummer is on everyone’s mind, and for the MLRC that means summer workshops. It may be our 2020 summer workshops will be affected in several ways by the COVID-19 pandemic. The safety of our participants, presenters, and community are our top priority. While we continue to assess what our options may be for the summer, we will follow all recommendations and guidelines of the state health departments of Minnesota and Wisconsin.​Still, we realize educators and school districts need to plan so are announcing our current dates for summer workshops. In doing so, we have implemented a new registration policy.​​Using a Purchase Order?
